Things To Know Before Dating A Firefighter

You'll learn how to tell the difference between different
kinds of sirens.

1. If they are even
within 20 minutes of the station, they will always leave you to go on a call.

No matter the circumstances, if you have a fireman on your
hands, he will jet to the car and be on his way.

2. Meeting nights
are not something you try and fight with them about. They are going to leave
and you do not have to like it because it wasn't up to you anyway.

I have learned that these nights are not optional. Yes,
other people miss them, but not my firefighter.

3. No matter where
you are or what you're doing the minute they hear a firetrucks horn, they're
looking for it and hoping they're not missing anything good.

You will learn the lingo. Structures, fully involved (the
good stuff) smoke alarms, cat in a tree (ehh I mean they are fireman...soooo
still good stuff).

4. They know the
exact difference between an ambulance, cop, and, of course, a fire truck siren.

Which means that you will have to learn, too.

5. You’ll have to accept
that when he has to do hall rental cleanup, you're going with to help.

You fold the chairs and
he stacks them. And Im talking at like 12 a.m.,1 a.m.

6. When you come around the
firehouse, there will be jokes made and they'll mess with him about you or even
you about him.

Honestly, it's a giant
bromance going on and they prey on this kind of stuff.

7. At first, you won't really have a
name to the fire guys. Until you're around long enough.

You'll just be
Boyfriend's name's girlfriend.

8. The fire pager goes where he goes.

Next to the bed, in the
car, next to your bed, your living room, EVERYWHERE. And even if it's not the
real pager, it's the dog app that I can never remember the name of so dog app
it is. (Say that really fast to get the full effect).

9. They will probably wear their
station shirt/apparel at least 4-5 days a week.
